  CHILDREN OF GOD I John 3:1-3  Devotional:- “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him” (V.1) NKJV One of the unique things on earth is that, each one belongs to one family or the other. Some are from a great family, their name sounds great, and others are from a family that is not well-known. The truth is that, the lineage each of us belongs to, sometimes speaks and shows in our live. Those who are seen as children of great people in the world are often counted as privileged. But the scripture we read today is aimed at making you appreciate the privilege of being a child of God. It doesn’t matter whether you are born into a great family on earth or not. God has decided to bestow His love on you by calling you His child (Galatians 4:7). This is the greatest family in heaven and earth. The moment you are born again, you are born of God (John 1:12).

MIND YOUR BUSINESS

MIND YOUR BUSINESS 

I Thessalonians 4:9-12
Devotional:- “that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you” (V.11) NKJV

    In the way God created us, we are made to be effective when we learn the act of focus. God’s word says, if your eyes are single your whole body shall be full of light (Matthew 6:22). In other words, you can only be your best when you stay focused. Just like a lens can transfer heat to burn a piece of paper when focused in the direction of the sun, so also, is the strength of your focus.

The Bible instructs us to mind Our business. In other words, avoid distractions. Refuse to allow other things to distract your attention from your calling. You are not called to do everything but the one that you are given must be successful. And that is why you must mind your business.

There are different strategies the enemy will want to employ against us. He could set up people to discourage us; he could use instances or situations. But if we allow our hearts to be fixed on our business, we will not have time for other distracting factors. This Year is for your rising.

PRAYER: LORD, STRENGTHEN ME TO FOCUS ON MY ASSIGNMENT ON EARTH.

“MORE ENERGY IS WASTED WHEN ONE LACKS FOCUS”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

MASTER’S MINAS

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
